steamed muthiya. Madhu's version

3 tablespoons cooked rice
6 tablespoons Besan
3 tablespoons wheat or Ragi flour
1 tablespoon coarse semolina
1 tablespoon millet flour.
1 or 2 tablespoon oil
6 tablespoons grated veg of your choice but include starchy vegetables like courgette or potato.
I use cabbage carrots and courrgettes, spinach , corriander etc or you can use frozen veg
Masalas of your choice. Salt, turmeric, chilli powder, green chillis, ginger, a teaspoon sesame seeds. Lemon juice ( jayma)

I put rice in the microwave with water to get them really mushy/well cooked and no or very little water remains
Mix all the dry ingredients including vegetables.
Add oil and mix . The mixture should resemble bread crumbs but not a lot of flour will be seen. If you see a lot of flour add some more vegetables.
Take the rice and use this to bind the mixture.  You shouldn't need to use any water but if it is too dry sprinkle a little water at a time.
Grease your palms and steamer. Shape the mixture and steam for 15/20 minutes.
Enjoy with chutney, sauce, salsa ,or yoghurt.

For tempering

Once cool, you can cut them in large rounds and temper.
Put 2 teaspoons of oil in a pan. Once warm add mustard seeds and wait till they crackle.
Add cumin seeds, curry leaves and sesame seeds. Add the muthiya and saute on an op en pan. We like them crispy so we saute for a while.Garnish with corriander and dessicated coconut..
Enjoy with yoghurt or masala tea.
